National Cathedral and Random Cemetery

We are dead

Arlington Cemetery and Air and Space Museum in Dulles

Changing of the guards.

The plane that dropped the first atomic bomb.

Arlington Cemetery was so beautiful and humbling. There was so much to love about it and so much history. The view from the Robert E. Lee house was gorgeous too.

The Air and Space Museum was super cool and Marissa and I had a little too much fun taking pictures. 

Capitol Building

Columbus Memorial

The steps the President walks down to his inauguration. 

Senator Lee's desk.

Since Rhett had an internship this summer at Senator Lee's office, we were able to do some insider things at the capitol building. We were able to go into the Library of Congress which was super beautiful. Before we got there though, we accidentally walked into the wrong room while searching. It happened to be the room that houses lots of artifacts. The man in there told us we could come in and he would show us some stuff. He showed us Woodrow Wilson's Nobel Peace Prize (and we got to hold it), Hitler's personal copy of Mein Kampf, the bible that Abraham Lincoln was sworn in on, the grammar book that Lincoln used to learn to read and write, Charles Dicken's cane, and so much more. Then we were able to see a first addition Book of Mormon. It was quite a cool trip!!!

Good to be home

Last week my family and I went to D.C. We had tons of fun and saw all the sights. It was amazing to see so many things that have brought this country to where it is today. We spent tons of family time together, my brother got an internship, we saw many artifacts, we made fools of ourselves and had some good cupcakes. It was an amazing trip with tons of memories and a complicated trip home but we finally made it after being awake for 24 hours. As I got off the plane I smelled the San Diego air and remembered that I lived in the best city in the world.

I've realized recently that I have an addiction. It is baking. I went over a week without baking and almost died. Baking cookies last night made me so happy!

Goodbye

I said goodbye to Utah on Saturday. A two week trip can get kind of long. I missed my bed a ton and the smell of California air. I did have an amazing trip, spending time with my cousins and getting ready for college. Even though Utah smells like a cow, I am so excited to live there for the next few years and go to BYU. Its going to be so much fun!!!
